Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP3_ModerateBS2
The NM_001458.5(FLNC):c.1309C>T(p.Arg437Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000645 in 1,612,910 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R437H) has been classified as Likely benign.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 26 Uncertain:1
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3B. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Loss of function and gain of function are known mechanisms of disease in this gene. Loss of function variants have been reported to cause myopathy, myofibrillar, 5 (MIM#609524), myopathy, distal, 4 (MIM#614065), familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, 26 (MIM#617047) and dilated cardiomyopathy. Gain of function variants have been reported to cause myopathy, distal, 4 (MIM#614065) (PMID: 32112656). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (10 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (p.(Arg427His): 13 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools and highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated filamin-type immunoglobulin domain (NCBI conserved domain). (I) 0710 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. The p.(Arg437Gly), p.(Arg437His) and p.(Arg437Leu) variants have been classified as VUS (ClinVar). (I) 0809 - Previous evidence of pathogenicity for this variant is inconclusive. This variant has been classified as a VUS (ClinVar). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

FLNC-related disorder Uncertain:1
The FLNC c.1309C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg437Cys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.R437C variant (also known as c.1309C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the FLNC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1309. The arginine at codon 437 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Myofibrillar myopathy 5;C3279722:Distal myopathy with posterior leg and anterior hand involvement;C4310749:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 26;CN239310:Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Dominant Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 437 of the FLNC protein (p.Arg437Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374847180, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLNC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567937). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on FLNC protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
